Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
My name is Isabelle Grace Nestor and I am 15 years old. I am from Flowery Branch, GA. I am a cross country and track runner. I have even completed two half marathon Races. Playing guitar and designing clothes are big hobbies of mine. I hope to one day be a fashion/clothing designer.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
At the beginning of 2020, I started attending John Casablancas to kick-start my modeling career. Only a few weeks after, I booked a charity fashion show known as AIMS 2k2, produced by @sabreinc. This was my first time on the runway, and I knew there would be many more. I next began working with America's Next Top Model’s Victoria Henley. She produces the Magnifique fashion shows and I have had the opportunity to work with her. I also have gone to a few networking events around the Atlanta area and have done small shoots with smaller photographers. Recently, I signed with HOP models in Atlanta (and now Hannah Noelle in Tampa as well) and my career as a model is just getting started.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to go to fashion school in either New York or Paris to be a fashion designer. I'm fascinated by all sorts of fashion. Anywhere from high end to low end. To designer stores to thrift shops. I'd love to work in the fashion industry some day.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be your own kind of beautiful is simple. Simply be YOUR OWN. Be yourself. Don't worry about what others may think. Think about what makes you happy.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I take a lot of pride in my fashion style. I consider it a perfect mix of classy, trendy, and unique. I enjoy researching and studying fashion in my free time. I even sew my own clothes sometimes. I always love going shopping and seeing what is new and what everyone else is wearing.
Who or what inspires you?
Lots of people in the fashion/modeling industry inspire me. Elsa Hosk is a model I look up to because she is very successful and I love her fashion style. I also look up to Cara Delevinge because despite being short, she has been an extremely successful model. I also admire Coco Chanel because her success wasn't just handed to her, she worked and worked to earn her fame. As Coco once said, “Don't be like the rest of them darling”.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
My best advice would be not to be afraid. If you don't try, you'll never make it. You can start by submitting online to some jobs, you don't necessarily have to have an agent. There's also a lot more inclusivity nowadays, you don't have to be 5’10” or have a 22 inch waist. Many places now are looking for curvy, petite, plus size, anybody can be a model.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
The main thing I think of when I think of obstacles is Covid hands down. Sports, activities, modeling, everything stopped, it taught me not to take anything for granted, and every opportunity is a blessing. Now I know to take advantage of every chance I get to do something, you never know what might happen and take it all away.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
Personally I believe what makes me beautiful is the way I'm not afraid to be myself. I see my style and my personality as beautiful and that is enough for me, I don't need others to tell me what they think.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
I would simply say don't pay attention to people who try to bring you down. Do what satisfies you. Someone will judge you no matter what you do, so you might as well just do what you think is best for you.
